07/31/11 Camping at SUU and Holly sprays Katie awake

7/31/2011

Well it's the fifth Sunday so Dad had to go in at 7 a.m. but I get the morning off!!! So I made strudel cake for breakfast and kailua pork and rolls for dinner.  I sure like having the morning off!!!

Dallas has to talk today in church.  On the pioneer trek.  Lucky kid.  I attached his talk if you are interested.  I think he'll do fine.   He said he might even wear his pioneer outfit...we'll see.

Time is flying...school starts in just a couple short weeks now.  Bryce is almost done his summer ag program.  I think Monday and Tuesday next week might be it.

Holly has her first ever camp out next week.  Katie's second or third...can't remember.  Anyway we are going up Cedar Mountain and staying at the SUU lodge (wussy camping...indoor on the floor of the lodge).  It'll be fun though.

The kids are kind of full of it today.  Holly woke up early and helped me with the baking and then she took a spray bottle and woke up Katie 'cause she was bored.  Hmmmm....well you can imagine how that went!  Needless to say there is a little bedlam in the house right now.

Kind of a quiet week for church.  Only had 1 or 2 girls in church last Sunday and cancelled Wednesday because Friday was the Temple trip.  Only ended up having Nikki Turner to that so she went with the boys.  So I guess I've kinda had the week off.  It was nice!  Been trying to reconnect with my girlies cause I feel like I've been so tired or busy lately that they aren't getting enough of me!  Friday afternoon we took the play-doh toys and made cookies and decorated them.  Personally I think they are yucky but the girls sure had fun doing it.  And they are almost gone so somebody's eating them.

Bryce wants me to cut his hair...so I guess I better run.

I can't wait to hear all about your week...new companion...etc!!!!  We were so hopeful to get some news on the website from your mission mama....and there was a nice pix of you...but NO NEWS!!!!!  Aaaaahhhhh well.  You looked happy and well!!! That's always good!

Take care. Love you lots!!! mom.

01/12/26 Just a couple of things going on

Every Monday night we do family night pizza. This has included Eldon and Diane for quite awhile now. They left on a round the world cruise and will be gone from January - May. So we sent them a pic of these two cuties and told them we missed them.  Found this fun scratch off -- you can mark everywhere you've been. We want to travel in our retirement and thought this would be a fun way to keep track of it. (We also have a world map but I think 1 on the wall is enough).  SO this is our little inspiration wall to remind us to get out and see the world! Holly painted this picture on her wall a couple of years ago. I added some words and music notes in vinyl to it. I'm working on turning her bedroom into my music sanctuary.  The WELCOME pineapple sign was starting to peel off. I took off all the vinyl and painted the words instead. Gave it a nice refresh! We signed up for classes at the college too -- currently we are taking World travel, AI (artificial intelligence), Aging an...

03/28/26 Trip to Italy, Day 5, Saturday, Florence

We stopped at a local restaurant and got some breakfast tarts and then went to the Academia and saw the statue of David and had a tour. We returned to the same Restaurant and had panini sandwiches for lunch. Then we went to the Uffizi Museum for another tour. We had yummy gelato and took a rest for a while.  We walked through the leather market and to a cool bridge. We walked around the city awhile into we came to a restaurant that was super cute and we ate outside. We had ravioli and pizza. We walked a bit more after dinner and then came back and played games.

08/23/25 Organ

The Washington First Ward Building was sold to the City of Washington. Part of my responsibilities included dispensing of the organ and pianos in the building (along with other things).  It is an Allen, approximately 1970s.  I put the organ up on the auction. There were a couple of other people that were bidding on it, but I ultimately won the bid (for under $100). On the day I won the bid I was able to arrange a mover!!! I paid $250 to have someone from the piano store move it to our house (I have no idea how he managed to get that into the back bedroom....but he did it!!!) Then, it wouldn't work. 😭 I waited for approximately 6 weeks before a guy (who had to be 80 years old) came down from SLC and repaired the organ. (So the organ wasn't actually broken, it had to do with the electricity and the house talking nicely to one another.) It took him a couple of hours to figure it out. He charged about $200 and voila! I have a working church organ.  Cool, eh?  Now, I got...
